The kind-hearted persona the duchess displays in public reveals where she comes from. According to reports from friends and family, Meghan has always had a philanthropic streak. In fact, she and her parents used to visit nursing homes and hospices to bring meals and joy to the residents when she was just a kid.
Since before she was even 12 years old, she has been showing her true colors to the world through the work she’s done. From her very first appearance on television to the ones she makes today, she is always showing her support for those who may not have as big of a voice as she does.
Little Red School House
Meghan has been adorable since she was a kid and went into acting at a very early age. She was always a charmer and always wanted to be at the front part of the stage. The duchess had a fairly normal childhood, and even though she lived in Los Angeles and attended the Little Red Schoolhouse, she still grew up under considerably “regular” circumstances, compared to what her own children may face during their childhoods.
After all, Archie was already one of the world’s most famous faces before he even turned one. According to reports by those close to the family, however, Meghan and Harry plan to try and give their children the most grounded childhood as is possible.
She Was a Queen Before a Duchess
Most of us would probably find it hard to transition from regular life in jeans and t-shirts to the life of an actual member of a royal family. Lucky for Meghan, she had an early start — as early as high school! On the night of her homecoming dance – she was voted queen.
If you know about Meghan’s teenage years, you probably know that she actually attended an all-girls high school. Fortunately, the administrators at her school still allowed the boys to come over for dances and other special occasions. And perhaps this is where she got her first taste of what it's like to be the queen bee.
Gorgeous Meg
Friends and teachers alike absolutely raved about Meghan when asked about her during her teenage years. She was not only incredibly beautiful on the outside, but on the inside, too. It seems that Meghan wasn’t the only one who believed that she was destined for greatness.
Anytime one of her friends talks about her childhood, they said that there were always “signs” that she was headed down a special life path. And now that she has achieved her dream of acting, she is achieving every other woman's dream too since she married one of the most famous princes of all time.
First Job at Humphrey Yogurt
Humphrey Yogurt in Los Angeles California has probably doubled its revenue, after Meghan Markle revealed that her first job, at the age of 13 was at the ice cream parlor, where she served frozen yogurt. In a recent interview with Oprah in 2021, Markle briefly spoke about her time there.
She stated that she has always valued independence and perhaps that was why she started working there at such a young age. Humphrey has turned into a tourist attraction, and the following day after the interview was aired, customers were already standing in line outside the store, even before opening hours.
